LeMond Spinning Classes - NEW

Pearkes Recreation Centre strives on offering new & unique programming to the residents of Saanich. We've found this most recent project particularly exciting.

What if we could bring the Tour De France to you? Well, we've done it. We are happy to announce the arrival of our new Greg LeMond designed Spin bikes.

This new, 15 cycle addition to our roster could not have come at a better time. With the ever growing running and cycling population on South Vancouver Island, the cross training demand for this indoor sport is equally as popular and beneficial.

Whether you're looking for a sport specific training session, or an amazing low impact cardio workout, these classes are for you. Programs are structured to fit every fitness level from absolute beginner to advanced cyclists.

See the Fitness Drop-in schedule for times and cost.
